Renewed search for clues in Waller case

JACKSON, Mo. (AP) — Police are taking a fresh look for evidence along a southeast Missouri interstate highway that could offer clues in the June disappearance of Jacque Waller.

Waller, the mother of triplets who just turned 6, was last seen leaving the Jackson home of her estranged husband on June 1. The Southeast Missourian (http://bit.ly/sjxqoq) reports that Jackson police, Cape Girardeau County deputies, the FBI and others spent Thursday searching an area along Interstate 55 where Waller’s car was found.

Police Chief James Humphreys says the area is being canvassed again because the grass there was tall when first searched, and has since been cut short. Officials hope the shorter grass might make it easier to find possible clues.
